This is an interesting point. A / is actually legal in a URL but has specific semantics, while space just isn't allowed. If the URL is a private scheme where both ends are under your control and / is not used as a separator, it might work. Still, the easiest thing is to just use a supplied encode/decode. Consider especially what might happen to non-roman characters (someone copy-pastes naïve or café or smart quotes). I wouldn't know what to do with these, but I bet the encoder does.
